FLIR hopes that anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of thermal imaging will find a visit to the company's website - www.flir.com - time well spent. Flir has created a free guide aimed at any would-be thermographer. The guide is available as a download and as a 48- page hard copy.

It provides a thorough grounding in industrial and building science infrared. The content takes the reader through the design of a thermal imaging camera, how it works and why the technology is so important in a world so highly focussed on thermal efficiency and minimising energy loss.

There is a section that explores the science behind thermography in industrial and building applications and information on how to identify the camera features that best suit the task. There's also a section on thermal inspection and how to achieve the best results.
